Here are some factors that could make you at risk of suffering from heart disease, as quoted from Shine.com. By know, you can immediately take steps to prevent early as possible.
You are at high risk if:
1. Coronary artery disease (stents, bypass surgery, and heart attack)
2. Experiencing a stroke or carotid (neck) artery disease
3. Blocked arteries in your legs
4. Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Experiencing the weakened artery in the abdomen
5. Chronic kidney disease
6. Diabetes
Your risk of heart disease if:
1. Smoker
2. Lack of movement
3. Overweight or obese
4. Having a family history of heart disease (father with heart disease less than 65 years of age or women with heart disease less than 55 years)
5. High blood pressure (over 130/85 mmHg)
6. High cholesterol (more than 200 mg / dL, HDL (good cholesterol) of less than 50 mg / dL)
7. Suffering from lupus or rheumatoid arthritis (an autoimmune disease)
8. Metabolic syndrome
9. Experienced complications during pregnancy such as diabetes-related complications of pregnancy, eclampsia or preeclampsia (hypertension associated with pregnancy).
This is also the first time there is the recommendation of high blood pressure related to pregnancy or diabetes as a risk factor for heart disease later in life even after pregnancy condition no longer need to be treated. A recent analysis also showed that women with these conditions double the risk of coronary artery disease (blockages in the arteries of the heart) and strokes in the next 5 to 15 years after pregnancy, as quoted by the British Medical Journal in 2007.
Autoimmune disease is now also being considered as a risk factor for heart disease and stroke. All risk factors should be optimized if you have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Therefore, optimizing your health today. However, it is better to prevent than cure!
